A couple years ago I was living with an old friend, and he had a bunch of people over and they were watching Morvern Caller, I was on my way out to go do something. I had been into BOC for about a year ro so... REALLY in to BOC... and I passed in front of the just as that scene where they play that scene. I immediately stopped in my tracks, turned toward the TV and shouted, "EVERYTHING YOU DO IS A BALLOON! BOARDS OF CANADA!" Everyone must have thought I was a raving lunatic! I was the only one in the group even remotely into that kind of music.

Morvern Callar is a great film. The whole soundtrack is really good (Aphex, Broadcast, Can, Lee Perry...). And it's got the lovely Samantha Morton...

Ooh man, I totally picture that situation! :D
I'm like that as well with commercials and movie when they play some of the music I play.. I guess it's some sort of recognition which I need?

The last good movie in the theater i saw this year was Children of Men . that was one of the most brillaint movies i have seen in a long time . And i think what also may be a highly acurate vision of our future if things get worse and we don't step up to the plate and save our selfs from our selfs .

Clive owen should have got Oscar for best actor .

I agree. Probably the best movie i've seen in the last couple of years. Even better than Pan's Labyrinth, which was outstanding. More than anything i loved the way i was filmed - the long unbroken takes. The sequence at the end which goes on for 10 minutes or so, in a warzone with all sorts of shit being thrown around, in one long unbroken take is just incredible. It should go down as a historic moment in cinema.

I saw "Dirty Filthy Love," and it was good, and it was not a porno. It's a movie about mental illness and these two OCD people who eventually end up getting together. It was really touching, actually, and very, very British.

I saw that 'Stay' film someone mentioned a while back, I really enjoyed it. Also, saw most of 'Papillon'...great film too.

Now to get ahold of Children of Men :wink:
